Bad footage for Hillary: Clinton repeats George Bush and Dick Cheney's Iraq talking points to a tee.

When Hillary Clinton and her surrogates speak of her superior experience it is useful to refresh our memories:



Anyone can say they "made a mistake" after the fact but back in 2002 she was a good and loyal soldier to the Neocon's agenda.

Spin it any way you want, but her support for the Iraq war should not be forgotten.

We're still fighting his wars and Halliburton is stiill profiting off the backs of our soldiers.

Hillary still wants to fight for regime change ensuring that we continue the was for years more.

Stop the killing and vote for Bernie.

American casualties. I love listening to Chicken Hawks talk about 'we took casualties'. No, Dick 'we' didn't. He made sure he was not a casualty in another war he supported by getting five deferments.

What an evil man, no concern at all, no mention of the hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis, mostly conscripts, in the First Gulf War. And none for the over a million he is responsible for.

They worship the Green God...money and power. That's it in a nutshell.

Bill Clinton lost to Frank White in the 1980 Arkansas gubernatorial election, and he left office in January 1981. So that photo dates from either the 1979-1980 era, or some time after Bill Clinton became governor again, and George Wallace was governor, between 1983 and 1986.

this lying warhawk will never get my vote.

Ever.

And any Democrat who thinks that that's throwing this election to the GOP can start supporting a candidate the whole party can get behind, Bernie Sanders.

If people insist on supporting someone who is continuously making millions from the health insurance industry and Wall Street, who is a hawk who will 'catapult the propaganda' in order to get us into a war, who is now willing to undo the good diplomacy the Obama admin has accomplished with Iran, who is lying about single-payer and is against it, and if they vote for Hillary Clinton, who is the person I'm talking about, obviously, and she happens to win the primary, well if people don't vote for her in the general because she is and stands for all of the above, the ones who voted for her in the primary are the ones to blame when she loses the election.

If you want to assure winning the general and if you are so concerned about SCOTUS appointments, you will get behind the person all Dems can get behind in the general. You can't force people to change their political views just because you will get behind someone even if they no longer represent and fight for what all of us on here used to want, until our chosen one said nah, that's okay, we don't want that any more. Some of us stand by our principles and cannot toss them out to vote for someone who has a D after their name but no longer wants the policy that is the foundation of what the Democratic Party principles and ideals are supposed to be about.

she believed it would be over quickly and she could use the dead Americans and Iraqis in the future to further her political career....to show that she is strong and can make the tough decisions. What she showed is that she is naive , unethical and not very bright.

Either she bought their nonsense, or did not but did not have the courage to buck the rush to war hysteria. Either way she voted for this action, which has killed or maimed so many and is costing us trillions.

Plus, a lot of us have Bush/Clinton fatigue.
